but all ppl are different, i am used to appreciate what i earn and have

also there is life insurance and medical insurance and shit loads of different insurances, so shall we f*ck ourself up and get insurance to pay for fixing us?
People often lose perspective: a car is inanimate object that, if damaged, can be repaired and/or replaced. Now, I am not advocating being careless - or even anything less than full blown obsessive - but it is still just a car and not a body part. I prefer not to valet my car, but it isn't always possible/practical. When I have to valet it, I always tip the guy very well - when I hand him the keys. Then I usually make some self-depricating remark about my obsessiveness with the car. No reason to come across elitist and thinking your car is somehow "special". In fact, I do the same when I valet my wife's MB or my truck. Honestly, I want to prevent damage from all my cars, whether $50K or $150K. I ask them to park it right up front or, if they can't do that, someplace very safe. So far, my luck has held out and that has been successful.
